One Wish

A woman was walking along the beach
when she stumbled upon an unusual
old lamp. She picked it up and cleaned
it off, and suddenly a Genie appeared.
The amazed woman asked if she was
going to receive the usual three wishes.

The Genie said, "Nope...due to inflation,
constant downsizing, low wages in
third-world countries, and fierce global
competition, I can only grant you one
wish. So...what'll it be?"

The woman didn't hesitate. She said,
"I want peace in the Middle East. See
this map? I want these countries to stop
fighting with each other."

The Genie looked at the map and
exclaimed, "Gadzooks, lady! These
countries have been at war for thousands
of years. I'm good, but not THAT good!
I don't think it can be done. Make
another wish."

The woman thought for a minute and
said, "Well, I've never been able to find
the right man. You know, one that's
considerate and fun, likes to cook and
helps with the housecleaning, is good
in bed and gets along with my family,
doesn't watch sports all the time,
and is faithful. That's what I wish
for...a good mate."

The Genie let out a long sigh and
said, "Let me see that map!"
